CNET Asia Review

By Philip Wong

Excellent

8.6

out of 10

The good: Very good HD performance; film-like standard-definition pictures; rich and accurate colors; sleek and hi-tech design; three HDMI; HDMI-CEC function.

The bad: Soft TV reception quality; bass-shy audio; no 1080p support; pricey.

The bottom line: The Samsung Bordeaux Plus does not handle standard-definition as well as HD. That said, it's definitely an excellent all-rounder with a balanced combination of aesthetics, features and performance.

best tv for money

Feb 27, 2008

Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: nice design, good quality
Cons: nothing that i think of.
Opinion:
sleek design, good color defined and well distributed. very crisp especialy if you are using hdmi. fantastic i've been a loyal sony user (somehow stereotype)until being satisfied with my computer;s samsung lcd monitors, i said to myself why not try a different brand. i'm very happy. before i buy any gadget it takes me a month of daily scrutiny before i decide and this one is worth every minute of it.

Spectacular indeed!

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: the reviews has it... i agree!
Cons: can't merely think of any....
Opinion:
though lacking the 1080p capabilities, you'll hardly notice the difference if coupled with some future-proofed HiDef gizmos out in the market. use it wisely & have fun!

THe best all round 1080i package on the market

Nov 26, 2007

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Ergonnomic dedsign, lot's of inputs, easy to use with great picture
Cons: average tuner performance.
Opinion:
I think htat this is the best all round 1080i TV on the market. IT has 3 HDMi inputs, side inputs for AV and S-vindeo Plus HDMi, swivel base etc. Plus it not only performs brilliantly, it also looks great in any lounge - this is what makes this TV stands out from it's "square" competitors.
